Campaign Audience

Choose who receives a campaign using lists, tags, or segments.

What this does

Your audience decides exactly who receives the campaign email. You can target lists, tags, or a saved segment.

Before you start

  • Make sure your lists and tags are up to date.
  • If you plan to use a segment, confirm it only uses lists/tags (campaigns do not support advanced filters yet).

Steps

1

Open a campaign

Open Campaigns, then select a campaign.

2

Choose how to target recipients

In Audience, do one of the following:
- Use Lists and Tags to include or exclude contacts.
- Pick a saved Segment.
- Use Manage Lists or Manage Tags if you need to update targeting options without leaving the campaign editor.

3

Confirm the audience count

Review Estimated recipients at the bottom of the Audience card.

Manage lists and tags in place

1

Open the audience picker

In Audience, open the list or tag picker you want to adjust.

2

Open the manager

Choose Manage Lists or Manage Tags to update your available options.

3

Apply the updated selection

Save the changes you need, then apply the selected lists or tags back into the campaign.

Audience rules

  • If you select a segment, the campaign uses that segment and ignores manual list/tag picks.
  • Segments currently support lists and tags only. Segments with custom fields, companies, or date filters are not supported for campaigns yet.
  • If you update lists or tags from the built-in manager, the audience card refreshes in place so you can review the latest estimated recipients before sending.
  • Estimated recipients only includes contacts who are currently eligible for that campaign type (for example, topic opt-outs and unsubscribed addresses are excluded).
  • If the estimated recipient count is 0, the campaign cannot be sent.
  • After you schedule a campaign, the send uses a saved audience snapshot for that run. Use Unschedule to Edit if you need to change targeting before it sends.
